Hi! It’s that time again! I sound really excited but I’m honestly recovering from the longest week of my life. There were some highs, lows, and a few days in bed. I’m feeling just a little better but I’m hoping this week will be loaded with content. I regardless of it all, I ended up doing some makeup and I had such a great time! I also got little sleep but tried my best to rest off the previous week. All-in-all…it wasn’t a that big of a catastrophe. Usually today would be a twofer but I won’t have my numbers for the end of March until this post has already gone out. Be sure to stay tuned on Tuesday for Money Moves Month – End for March. This week I think I feel well enough to modify my 2023 review and post it…4 months into the not even new year anymore. So grab something to drink and a snack already so I can tell you how the week went!
Okay! So!!! My balance on my HELOC is to pay a few things off related to the cruise. Anything related to vacation is saved up in my Money Market. I have this thing about taking money out of my account in large sums. So I’m choosing to pay it down gradually. A payment was made from my Money Market in the amount of $100 and I also put $337 towards my Shop Your Way Credit Card. I initially expected to pay a little more but I went a little crazy with my miscellaneous spending trying to rack up Ibotta rewards.
These are my numbers from last week. The debt is going down! I’ll take it! It’s a pay week this week and I’ll be making that balance go down just a little bit more. Life between March 2023 and March 2024 look a little different but things are running smoothly. I have some upcoming things that are going to help me reach a few goals just a bit sooner. 😊 Funny story…I looked at a post from last year where I was celebrating being below $30k. It’s going to be roughly 8 months to a year before I’m there again but…we adjust.
This week for sure! I will be posting 2023 details. It’s a must see. It’s realistic. I see so many people on debt journey’s that can manage to weather the storm and don’t end up going deeper in debt. Or maybe they have a spouse. I see money a bit different. Most importantly…wait until you see the twists and turns last year that took place…
Pro-Makeup Artist Tip
So I’ve been really beating my head against the wall trying to figure out…oily skin. I’m an oily skin gal. All I want is to stay matte all day. I’ve tried several products and all of them, both high-end and drugstore, just couldn’t win the fight but it wasn’t for a lack of trying. So! For my oily skin makeup lovers, find long-wearing products to help combat oil but know that you’ll need to blot or place powder on your face at one or two points throughout the day and that is okay. Just like making a change along your debt-free journey.
That’s all I have for today! Don’t forget to like, comment, subscribe to see more content from me and to share my page with someone who you think may benefit from the makeup/skin care tips or financial advice.
